  at a special price from Crazy Ape.

Surfnetkids Resource of the Week:
=============>
Did you know that Surfnetkids hosts a discussion forum? Not
many do, and it has remained unused, ignored and lonely for
several years. It actually consists of four separate boards:
Parents & Teachers, For Kids Only, Grownup Book Club and Teen
Book Club.

To make these boards come alive, I would love to have a few
volunteer adult moderators. This would involve responding to
vistor questions, encouraging discussion, and removing
inappropriate posts. Any takers?

See ya on the Net,

SAT Vocabulary

The best way to increase one’s vocabulary is to read voraciously. But if you have a particular set of words you want to learn (perhaps with an eye on increasing your verbal score on college entrance exams) these fives sites make fun out of learning words commonly found on the SAT, ACT and GRE.

CraniaMania is a competitive academic game site with weekly competitions in high school subjects such as SAT Vocabulary, AP Biology, Algebra, AP World History and more. Teens can register as individual students; teachers can sign up an entire classroom. The site is updated every Monday with new multiple-choice questions, and the weekly competitions for prizes end each Sunday at midnight. CraniaMania is great fun, and educational to boot!

“Good.” “Right.” “Yes” “Great!” These five Sheppard quizzes offer encouraging spoken feedback. Two of the games draw from a vocabulary of 720 commonly-tested SAT/GRE words. Each round consists of twenty select-the-definition questions, so you can play over and over again, with very little repetition. The three non-SAT games are an expert-level vocab game (with words like “opprobrium” and “eldritch”), and quizzes on computer and medical terminology.

“You SENILE DOTARD!” Dr. Clark grumbled loudly to himself as he tripped over criss-crossing cords and hit his thigh on the corner of the desk. Still not HABITUATED to his new office, the old professor brushed back a few of the SPARSE wisps of gray hair from his round face and squinted as he PEERED through his thick eyeglasses trying to identify the AMORPHOUS shapes that he perceived.” As you read this fourteen-chapter novella, you can click on any of the capitalized SAT vocab words to view their definition in a frame at the bottom of your browser window.
